Title: Recommendation: Description: For the FY 2003 school year, Lakeside Academy Charter School was graded an "F" by the Florida Department of Education. On December 10, 2003, the District renewed the Charter for Lakeside Academy Charter Schools only until June 30, 2005, to allow the school time to participate in the State's Assistance Plus Plan. In response, Lakeside Academy Charter School developed a corrective action plan. The school has been working to implement this plan, and some progress has been made. For FY 2005, Lakeside Academy had no grade data. The new Charter for Lakeside Academy Charter School was agreed upon by all parties after the expiration date of June 30, 2005, due to lengthy negotiations. The new Charter has been submitted and reviewed by the appropriate District staff. The new Charter shall become effective upon the signing by both parties, and shall cover a term of one (1) year commencing on July 1, 2005, and ending June 30, 2006 except as otherwise provided in their Charter. However, if the school fails to obtain enrollment of a minimum of 100 students by the 11th day count, this shall constitute "good cause" for immediate termination as stated in paragraph K and Section 1002.33(8)(d), Florida Statutes, whereby the school agrees to voluntarily dissolve and shall not appeal this dissolution to the State Board of Education. Due to the large number of pages, a copy of the Charter is on file in the Board Minutes Office for review. Financial Impact: For Additional Information, contact: Attachments (list):
